Final Installation Check Once you have completed the installation of the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation Testing dryer heating Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner. NOTE If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after approximately two minutes. Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been Checking airflow Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, from the dryer. dryer is running with no load. Checking levelness Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back the floor.

29 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 29 Installation Test (Duct Check) Once you have completed the installation of the dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of the dryer. This test should be performed to alert you to any serious problems in the exhaust system of your home. FLOW SENSE TM, an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use. NOTE The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If the dryer was warmed up during installation, run the AIR DRY cycle for a few minutes to reduce the interior temperature. Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as it may affect the accuracy of the results. During the two minute test cycle, monitor the FLOW SENSE TM display on the control panel. If no bars are displayed, when the cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust system is severely restricted, the display will show four bars. Other problems may also be shown with error codes. Refer to the next page for error code details and solutions. RESTRICTED Four bars indicates that the exhaust system is severely performance will be poor. At the end of the test cycle, will display.
